Established as a ceramic-centric company that was challenged by competition from various countries, resulting in diversification into the defense sector manufacturing Body Armor, Vehicle Armor, Ultra High Thermal Shock Resistance Ceramics which can be quenched into water from 2000°K, Slip Casted Fused Silica Radomes for missiles and CerDome Radomes for use up to 1600°C for aerospace and defense. Nimra has further expanded its business for Ultra-Low Weight and Flexible Add-on Armor panels for various applications such as Body Armor, Vehicle Armor, Heavy Vehicles Armor, Armor for Tanks, Helicopters, Bunkers etc. which are suitable for use at Extremely High and Low Temperatures range from (Plus) + 60°C to (Minus) – 60°C.
Nimra Cerglass started working on Slip Casted Fused Silica Radomes, after an intense Research and Development Nimra Mastered the Slip Casted Fused Silica Radome Technology, Nimra Cerglass could achieve over 60 MPa Flexural Strength coupled with Excellent EM properties. Since than Nimra Cerglass has supplied Fused Silica Radomes for various missiles for Indian Defense.

- 60oC to + 60oC
Developed a unique encapsulation material for manufacturing Armor
Panels which can withstand extremely high and Low Temperatures
ranging from (Plus) + 80 oC to Nimra Developed a Unique Encapsulation
Process for multi-hit armor application for various threat level.
Nimra Cerglass Researched, Developed and
Manufactuered ultra high temperature heating system
for Hypersonic Wind Tunnel Project for use upto 2000°K.
While working on development of Thermal Shock
Resistance Ceramics, Nimra Cerglass approached most
reputed ceramic manufactuers worldwide, the
maximum Thermal Shock Resistance Ceramics offered
by Worlds Most Advanced Ceramic Companies
Worldwide was in the range of 100°C to 300°C, we
purchased trail quanties and tested for thermal shock,
the ceramics did not withstand thermal shock of 100°C
to 300°C also.
Taking this as a challenge Nimra Cerglass developed its
own proprietory Ceramics which not only withstood
Thermal Shock up to 2000°K to room temperature, but
our Ceramics withstood 2000 cycles of quenching in
water from 2000°K and again inserting the component
in wet condition into the furnace at 2000°K.
